Re: [thelionscall] wow

That's still an excellent story - even if the Biblical themes are too
obvious in some people's opinion. There are plenty of deep symbolic
stuff woven in the storyline. :)

For me, it's like a description of our spiritual journey & the dangers
& temptations we face on our way to our destiny. Of course, ALL of the
Narnia books are about spiritual life, but the VoDT even more aptly so.

Beginning with Eustace & his transformation process & how he becomes
part of the team... and King Caspian and his own struggles &
temptations; of course Lucy is not excempt of them either... :) It's
maybe the most interesting plot of all the CoN, spare the Last
Battle....
